The team will produce a TAPV solution that will provide Canadian Forces with superior protection and in-theatre mobility.

As part of the agreement, DEW will provide design services, add-on-armour and vehicle assembly while Thales will provide Vehicle Electronic Architecture (VEA).

VEA includes a complete combat system suite, as well as design, production material and systems support throughout the life of the programme.

The TAPV programme will provide the Canadian Army with a fleet of next-generation wheeled combat vehicles. The Canadian Department of National Defense expects to award a contract by early 2012.
